What is a collaboration network?
A collaboration network maps the connections between individuals or institutions based on co-authored publications, shared clinical trials, or research affiliations. These networks can be analyzed to understand scientific influence, knowledge flow, and the centrality of key researchers within a field.
Why are collaboration networks important in pharmaceutical strategy?
Mapping collaboration networks helps identify hubs of scientific activity, influential research partnerships, and potential access points for engagement. They provide context for understanding how thought leaders and Rising Stars are connected and can inform stakeholder targeting, advisory planning, and clinical trial site selection.
